Description:
A young enchanter, dressed in robe and cloak, is seated on a tall
wrought iron stool in his paraphrenalia-filled workroom. He speaks
an incantation, raises his arms, and conjures the sparkling illusion
of a fire-breathing dragon-bird perched on a vine-entwined fruit tree
sprouting from the carpet-covered floor. A filigree border of architectural
motifs and leafy vines accented with metallic cord and beads surrounds
this richly detailed scene.
Background
Information: This piece was designed in response to numerous requests
for a "wizard". Since I am an avid reader of fantasy, inspiration
for this project was certainly not lacking! The challenge, of course,
was to come up with something original: ideally something that was
a synthesis of my favorite impressions from all that I'd read and/or
seen. I chose to show a young wizard (mage), perhaps an apprentice,
studying and practicing his art. Exactly why I decided to show this
aspect instead of a grander portrait of a wizard in full regalia doing
something appropriately fantastical I'm not sure. Perhaps it's because
I feel the process of "becoming" (growing in knowledge) is a journey
that never truly ends....
Stitching
Comments: Enchanter is a challenging piece: large, color-complex,
and very detailed, it will require a sizeable investment in materials,
organization and time. If you are a fantasy lover, and love a challenge,
you should find stitching Enchanter a rewarding experience.
